Chapter 15

"You're welcome anytime, Sarah-by both Dammit and me," grinned AJ. "But it's a long drive just to exercise, however, if you want to stick around until I get home, I'll cook dinner. The key is always left in the loose brick under the window near the door, so if you want to go in and shower, help yourself."

"I just might surprise you by taking you up on your offer, sweetheart," grinned Sarah. "Besides, now I know where you hide your key. Don't you just love sharing secrets with your spouse?"

"Yes, Darlin', I love sharing things with you." He pushed back his chair, and walked around the table. Holding out his hand to Sarah, he asked, "Care to dance, beautiful?"

Taking her into his arms they danced long into the night before they made their way back to the hotel.

Stepping into the elevator, AJ had his arm around Sarah and her head was on his shoulder.

"Well, isn't this just picture perfect?" smirked Clay from behind them.

"What now, Webb?" sighed AJ.

"Were you two just hungry, or did you go down the menu ordering the most expensive thing on there?" growled Clay.

"Oh, I was hungry, and AJ was going down the menu ordering the most expensive thing!" giggled Sarah.

"What happened to not spending the taxpayers money?" demanded Clay.

"Didn't spend the taxpayers money, Webb," grinned AJ. Getting off the elevator, he turned, "Here's your credit card. See you tomorrow."

"You sorry son-of-..." Webb exclaimed as the doors closed.

Unlocking the door and letting Sarah go inside, AJ stepped in and locked the door behind them. Looking around, he realized he was locked away from the world, in a room with Sarah and a king- sized bed. He leaned against the door and shut his eyes. Immediately, his dream leaped into his mind. Quickly opening his eyes he said, "Sarah, I get the bathroom first tonight. It's only fair, since you had it first earlier."

"I thought it was ladies first, but if it's so important then go ahead," she said shrugging her shoulders.

"It is, Darlin'. I have to get out of this tux. Thanks for understanding."

Sarah took the time that he was in the bathroom to undress herself, she knew that she could be quicker than he would, because she had fewer layers than a tux had. She was into her nightgown before AJ returned, and had even had time to hang the dress up in its protective garment bag. Knowing that she was too keyed up to sleep, she climbed into the bed, propped herself with pillows, and turned the television on to the news channel.

AJ took another quick shower after removing his tux; he needed to take the edge off of his desire for the woman in the next room. Jacking off in the shower and then turning the water to icy cold he prayed would get him through the night in the same bed with her. He usually slept in the nude, so was glad that Webb had thought to include a pair of pajamas in with the rest of his mission-clothes. But good lord! They were silk! Did the man have any clue how silly AJ would feel in SILK pajamas? Probably, and that was most likely the reason Webb had done it!

He came out of the bathroom to find Sarah in bed and watching the news on television. Going over to his side of the bed, he pulled back the covers and propped himself up the same way she was to watch the news also. She turned her attention to him as he got into the bed, "AJ, are those silk?" Mac asked reaching out to run her fingers over the cloth on his arm.

"Yes," AJ growled.

Suppressing a giggle, Mac said, "So is my nightgown, do you think that Webb was thinking far enough ahead to…."

"To what, Sarah?"

"Um, nothing…." She tried to avoid admitting what she had been about to say.

"No, you are not getting away with that! To what?" He gave her a stern look.

"Okay! Do you think he planned it as a precautionary measure to us misbehaving? I mean….with us both wearing silk, we'd just slide out of each others arms, and hence, not get into trouble?" She blushed at the suggestion.

To be continued….
